TIPS FOR COMPLETING YOUR PROJECT:
1.) Refer to CHAPTER 21 – Drugs for assistance.
2.)
TITLE each of your slides
3.)
Make sure your slides are “eye catching” – pictures / graphics must be on ALL slides. Colorful & CREATIVE!!
4.)
Make sure your font size is readable. If you have extra space make it bigger! If you have a lot of information
instead of squeezing it all in on one slide make it into TWO slides!
5.)
LIST your facts / information either using numbers, bullets {press option 8 at the same time}, or
asterisks. On the control panel – FORMAT - BULLETS & NUMBERING - click on BULLET
& choose your style. ALL FACTS MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!
This helps separate your information, make it neat & organized, & one can look
at it and gather information quickly. AVOID writing in sentence / paragraph
form.
Information should be limited to very few words!

6.) Keep the BACKGROUD slide the same. You can get creative by your font, color, boarders, pictures, &
graphics. Do not have your graphics / words fly in & out. NO noises.
7.) Keep your slides in the order as they appear on your requirement sheet.
8.) Be able to explain your slides beyond what is written on the slides!!!!
Oral Presentation TIPS:
1.) Make eye contact with your classmates – DO NOT constantly look down at your note cards or at the screen.
2.) More or less you need to memorize a large portion of your presentation. NOTE CARDS MAY BE USED.
Anyone can research a drug, make a power point, & read from it. You need to be knowledgeable / an expert on your
drug. TALK to the class vs. READING!! SAY MORE – WRITE LESS!
3.) Rehearse your presentation several times PRIOR to the day your are scheduled to present. PRACITCE,
PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! You need to be able to pronounce & know meanings of all words! Talk clearly, slowly,
& loud enough for everyone to hear.
4.) Don’t forget to say an introduction
& conclusion.
INTRODUCTION IDEAS:
5 sentences – Define drugs in general, why are they bad, how do they harm people & their lives, make a strong
statement as to why one should not do drugs. What else can you do besides drugs, tell a true story relating to your
drug that you found in your research. The last sentence should introduce your specific drug.
CONCLUSION IDEAS:
*Your conclusion should start out specific about your drug & get general. Review the main points associated with
your drug. Finish by talking about drugs in general and why we should avoid them. (5 sentences)
